Minimal Syntax

Candlefingers

Here is a preview track from our brand new EP entitled Movements of a Cloud. After collaborating together on previous releases, we thought it would be interesting to try something different for our next project.  Our idea was to create a concept EP that takes the listener on a sonic journey through the changing seasons.  To achieve this, we’ve blended ambient/sound-work, chamber music, field recordings, orchestral and cinematic soundscapes.  To round the project off, we decided to include photos and artwork reflecting nature and the seasons.

It's been a great pleasure, indeed...to have worked on this project with the amazing @minimal_drone_grl

This EP is being released on the great Bricolage Records label and is available for pre-order now at:

The release date is February 25, 2022

This is a very brief demo of the Risset Harmonic Oscillator instrument I made for the Qu-Bit Nebulae v2 synthesizer module to give some idea of what it sounds like. Recorded direct, no effects.

Guide (the timings may not be exact, bt they should be in a right ballpark):

0:00-0.12: Fade in using amplitude control; triangle wave, minimum offset (full CCW)

0:13-0:36: Offset at about 35%, more arpeggio effect

0:37-1:17: Increasing the offset, eventually to max (full CW), then back to 35%

1:18-1:49: Start morphing through the waveforms, full CCW to full CW

1:50-2:04: Stay on Fibonacci wave (full CW) for a bit

2:05-2:28: Moving CCW, stopping very briefly at each waveform (approximately), ending up at triangle and staying there

2:29-2:40 : Start panning , going up to about 30%

2:41-3:16 Increase panning speed in increments, eventually reaching max (full CW)

3:17-end: Back to about 305 panning speed, then fade out using amplitude control

DEMO: Risset Harmonic Oscillator (Nebulae instrument)

Ambient and electronic music. Hardware, software, acoustic, and electric instruments. Dipping my toe in hardware modular synthesis. Might still work on a Bandcamp release. . .
